I'm interesting in reading the post movies stories of the galaxy, but I'm not sure where to start, I know there's thawn, and mara-jade, etc, but can someone like give me the essencal reading list? Thanks. XD

Thrawn Trilogy is phenomenal. Having read both the novels and the comics, I actually preferred the comics. Other classics:Dark EmpireCrimson EmpireShadows of the EmpireStar Wars: Legacy (takes place after all of the legends, pretty much.)
